Interruptible tariffs
Interruptible tariffs allow you to take the risk of occasional interruptions to your water supply in exchange for lower water charges. You need to be capable of managing interruptions to your supply.
We have agreed operating rules with the companies that offer this tariff to make sure that customers on an interruptible tariff can manage interruptions to their water supply. For example, we encourage the companies to conduct at least one test interruption for each customer every year.

Anglian Water and Wessex Water offer this tariff to users who are prepared to have their water supplies interrupted on a short-term (4 hours to 6 hours) basis.
